1 Peter 2:10-19 who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you.

Murdock⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁰ who formerly were not accounted a people, but now are the people of God; and also, there were once no mercies on you, but now mercies are poured out upon you. ¹¹ My beloved, I entreat you as strangers and pilgrims, separate yourselves from all lusts of the body; for they war against the soul. ¹² And let your behavior be decorous before all men; so that they who utter evil speeches against you, may see your good actions, and may praise God in the day of trial. ¹³ And be ye submissive to all the sons of men, for God's sake; to kings, on account of their authority; ¹⁴ and to judges, because they are sent by him for the punishment of offenders, and for the praise of them that do well. ¹⁵ For so is the pleasure of God, that by your good deeds ye may stop the mouth of the foolish, who know not God: ¹⁶ as free men, yet not like men who make their freedom a cloak for their wickedness, but as the servants of God. ¹⁷ Honor all men; love your brethren; fear God; and honor kings. ¹⁸ And those among you who are servants, be subject to your masters, with reverence; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the harsh and morose. ¹⁹ For there is favor before God for them who, for the sake of a good conscience, endure sorrows that come upon them wrongfully.
